Homeless charity receives first 50th anniversary charity donation

Our monthly charity prize draw kicked off
in January, where a Sorbon Estates tenant was chosen at random and
empowered to nominate a charity to receive a donation of £2,500
from the Shanly
Foundation.

The first winner of the charity prize
draw was Wilkinson
Estates situated in High Street, Maidenhead, who nominated the
Brett Foundation as the lucky recipient of the first cash prize.
The Brett
Foundation is a local Maidenhead charity that supports families
moving into properties after they've been homeless.

Family-run estate agency Wilkinson Estates has a longstanding
relationship with the Brett Foundation, having previously
supported the charity in awareness and fund-raising campaigns
including the conversion of a bus into a homeless shelter.

"From Shanly Homes to Sorbon Estates
to the Shanly Foundation, everything we do at the Shanly Group is
underpinned by our desire to support and grow local communities,
and the Brett Foundation is exactly the sort of good cause we like
to support. We can't wait to find out how our donation will help
progress the foundation's work". Tamra Booth, Operations
Director, Shanly Group

"We have seen first-hand the impact
that the Brett Foundation can have on those who have fallen on hard
times in Maidenhead, so when we found out that we'd won Shanly's
prize draw, for us it was a natural choice. We feel privileged to
be able to support our local community and are grateful to the
Shanly Foundation for allowing us to make this
donation." Matthew Wilkinson, Wilkinson Estates

"This donation is so important to us.
It can go towards feeding the homeless from our centre and help
keep the shelter bus on the road, meaning we can offer a safe place
for the homeless to sleep. It is so amazing that we have the
support of the Shanly Foundation and Wilkinson Estates, as we
couldn't do any of the work we do without the support of the
community and local businesses." Sue Brett, Brett
Foundation
